BigCy, your PM box is full.

I know that you posted a diagram about axe heads on the what is it threads... can you locate and post the diagram here?

If so, I'll include it in the original post. I would like for this to be an axe head ID post as well as showroom.

looks real close but no moon

I think first button is a fashion button.

Can you post pic of back 3rd button?

No moon, but same button

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

The dragon is listed as fashion by Waterbury. The first button is also fashion and you can see it here in this odd lot of modern buttons on eBay.

The reference to the 3rd button was the star button. We need a pic of the back to ID it. http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,259110.0.html If its on here, I dont see it.

There is no need to remove your pictures after they are identified. This thread no longer makes any sense. TN saves the old "What Is Its" for future reference.

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

I found it. You mistakenly posted it on another thread lol. We need to keep it somewhat organized for future reference you understand

Well the pic is a bit blurry, I tried to clean it up. It looks like what I suspected a modern self-shank iron back fashion button. (mid to latter 20th century)

 

[rocky raccoon]

sorry about that, thanks rr

 

[IronSpike]

Green check

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

sorry about that, thanks rr

Your welcome. Although I cannot find a match, it looks like a self shank fashion button.

 

[rocky raccoon]

so green check means identified?
